Title A Study in Scarlet Women Author Sherry Thomas Location Other Rating Highly Recommended Book Review An exciting mystery and who done it solved by none other than Sherlock Holmes's so-called sister. This story brilliantly introduces us to Charlotte Holmes one of 4 daughters their parents cannot wait to marry off. Not all that successfully though.  Soon Charlotte, the youngest daughter, proposes another plan for herself which is quickly rejected by her father. With little options she conjures an unsavory  plot to break free from her familial restraints and stumbles on a murder plot that has her sisters still at home entangled in scandal. The more the story develops the more Holmes family members are suspected. The author brilliantly creates a Sherlock into an ill, indisposed shut in who interprets crime scenes and clues through his "sister". I enjoyed this story full of games, riddles, observations, and serious detective work while in the constraints of the late 1850s where class and gender are at constant odds.
